“A fresh set of eyes”:
Often an objective Sales and Marketing review (from a SWOT analysis perspective) will provide an improved understanding of potential roadblocks that will highlight often overlooked issues that are inhibiting your company growth.
The SWOT analysis process focuses on four areas of close internal examination in Sales and/or Operations:
- Strengths
- Weaknesses
- Opportunities
- Threats
Strengths and Weaknesses are internally focused, while Opportunities and Threats are typically external factors.This objective review and SWOT assessment is performed on sight (at either an hourly or project rate) and provides a thorough comprehensive interview process (typically in concert with ownership, executive leadership, sales and operations) to benchmark the company’s current state.
Once the company growth plan is examined, the next step is to carefully review the marketing effort (for brand identity) and map the competitive landscape in an attempt to project where the client might be positioned currently and where they need to be positioned to meet their growth objectives.
This analysis becomes a tool for effective planning and potential repurposing of resources to maximize current value for bottom line efficiency. If the analysis proves need for further sales growth, we can provide selected market review of talent that will be capable of facilitating that “top line” growth objective.
